The Colosseum was part of a tour that included Vatican City - The Museums, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. What we didn't know was the Vatican City Tour was in the morning and then we had to fill in a bit of time and then meet the tour people later at the Colosseum. My suggestion would be to look for a tour that was continuous and able to take you from spot to spot instead of finding your own way, also this was a very long and exhausting day. However, the Colosseum is a sight to behold and not to be missed. I was impressed with the size which I don't think you appreciate fully until you are inside, and when you are inside standing among all that history, it is spellbinding. You really need to be part of a tour, and of course, book ahead unless you want to stand with the other two kilometres of people waiting to get in. The advantage of being on a tour is the information the tour guides are able to impart including the history and the modern day requirements of maintaining this attraction. I was a little intrigued to see a very modern lift inside the structure for those who had difficulties climbing the many stairs.
